Mardi Gras (better known as Fat Tuesday, in our books) celebrates the annual New Orleans carnival extravaganza. The celebration, full of colorful masks, elaborate floats and an endless supply of beaded necklaces, boasts some of the best food of the year.

A Kings Cake is almost as important to Mardi Gras as are the colorful costumes and floats. Instead of the usual purple and green sparkly dessert, take your inspiration from the similar Latino Christmas Kings Cake.
